Wet-Plate Accordionist

Carl Radford, the renowned Wet-Plate Accordionist, dervishly whirls while creating an Ambrotype of Eve.

It's refreshing to see so many people involved with wet plate process. I love your photos, my favorite so far is the North Uist house. This may be a dumb question, but is "accordionist" just a cool play on words? I haven't seen it before in connection to wet-plate. (I feel kind of dumb for even asking haha)
